Twenty-one people had to be rescued from the Aurora Reservoir, on Saturday.
They had been practicing for Colorado's Dragon Boat Festival, in July, when winds caught the boat and tipped it over.
The boat capsized and began to sink, leaving the entire crew in the cold waters.
Emergency crews rescued all twenty-one and treated several for hypothermia.
Park rangers stated that everyone lived because they were wearing life preservers, however they also noted that none of those aboard knew how to swim.
